I-35 Waco Project 4 -
Waco

Project ID (CSJ): 0015-01-171

Overview:

Project Four will widen I-35 from 4 lanes to 6 lanes for approximately 7.9 miles through Waco, from South Loop 340 to North Loop 340 (this section will probably be completed in a series of smaller projects as funding becomes available):

Need & Purpose

Need: Increased truck traffic along the I-35 corridor
coupled with regional population growth in Texas has created
travel demand that exceeds its current capacity. The existing
I-35 facility through Central Texas is an essential element of
the local and regional transportation system.

Purpose: The purpose of the project is to meet local and regional travel demands by increasing capacity; upgrading the transportation infrastructure to meet current FHWA and TxDOT
design standards for interstates, bridges, and frontage roads;
thereby improving the safety of travelers along I-35.

End Result

This project will address congestion while improving safety at this
I-35 location by:

Widening 7.9 miles of I-35 from four lanes to six lanes (three lanes in each direction).
